3. Re-enter the new password in the Confirm Password field and press OK.

4. Select the Set New Password button and press OK.

7 Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide

Setting the User Password

You can set a user password to control access to User Preferences screens. By default, the

user password is not set.

Note: If you set a user password, you can also access the User Preferences screens with

the administrator password.

To set the user password, follow these steps:

1. From the System Menu, access Administrator Preferences : Security : Passwords.

2. Enter a new password in the New Password field below User Password and press

OK.

3. Re-enter the new password in the Confirm Password field and press OK.

4. Select the Set New Password button and press OK.

Specifying a Locally Configured IP Address

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to dynamically allocate and assign IP

addresses. DHCP allows you to move network devices from one subnet to another without

administrative attention. You can choose to enable DHCP if a DHCP server is present. If you

disable DHCP, you must enter an IP address (the locally configured IP address if not

assigned by a DHCP server), subnet mask (used to partition the IP address into a network

and host identifier), and gateway (IP address of the default gateway the system uses).

Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide 8

Configuring Avaya Systems Using DHCP

If an Avaya video communications system obtains its IP address using DHCP (the default), it

can accept an option from the DHCP server that specifies a location and file from which the

system can obtain configuration information. The file can be located on a web server, trivial

file transfer protocol (TFTP) server, or file transfer protocol (FTP) server. Each time the

system boots, it attempts to fetch the configuration file specified by the option. If the

configuration file has changed since the last time it was applied, the system applies the

configuration file before the boot process continues. The following prerequisites must be met

to enable this feature:

•The DHCP preference in Administrator Preferences : Network : General on the

Avaya system must be set to Enabled.

• An Avaya system accepts site-specific option 157 for this feature. You must configure

this option on the DHCP server.

Note: If you configure a system using DHCP option 157 and specify a TFTP server as

the source from which to obtain the configuration file, the system accepts the

download through port 5351. Ensure that firewalls between the system and the

TFTP server are configured to allow the download through this port.

Configuring the DHCP Option

Specific configuration details of DHCP servers for use with this feature vary depending on

the DHCP server used and your environment. The scope of this section is limited to

describing the format of site-specific option 157, which Avaya video communications

systems can accept from a DHCP server to obtain a configuration file.

An Avaya system can accept site-specific option 157 from the DHCP server if you configure

the option as a string with the following format:

“Avaya: server=<path>”

where <path> is a one or more URLs separated by a semicolon and that specifies the

location to a configuration file. Supported protocols include TFTP, FTP, and HTTP. If the path

contains more than one URL, the Avaya system tries the URLs in the order listed and uses

the first file that exists.

9 Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide

Example:

If the path is:

http://example/config/fishtank.cfg;ftp://example/other/fishtank.cfg

the system attempts to obtain the configuration file fishtank.cfg from the web server at

http://example/config/fishtank.cfg. If the file does not exist at that location, the system

attempts to obtain the configuration from the FTP server at ftp://example/other/fishtank.cfg.

Note: If the server requires a username and password to access the file, for example to

log into an FTP server, you can include the user name and password in the URL.

For example:

ftp://<username>:<password>@example/other/fishtank.cfg

where <username> is the user name and <password> is the password required for

the login. The user name and password must not contain a semicolon.

Each URL can also contain the following escapes to make the configuration unique to the

system:

If a machine name or IP address is used alone as a path element, then the following path is

substituted:

tftp://<name>/#M.cfg;tftp://<name>/#S.cfg

where <name> is the IP address or DNS name in the path.

Escape Replacement Value

#M Replaced with the MAC address using the underscore character to replace the

colon between bytes. The MAC address resolves to a hexadecimal number with

lower-case letters.

#S Replaced by the system model as follows:

1050

1040

1030

#I Replaced by the assigned IP address.

Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide 10

Example:

For a system with a MAC address of 00:13:FA:00:12:33 and an IP address of 10.10.22.77,

the path:

http://example/configs/fishtank.cfg;example;ftp://example/#I.cfg

resolves to search for a configuration file at the following locations:

1. http://example/configs/fishtank.cfg

2. tftp://example/00_13_fa_00_12_33.cfg

3. tftp://example/room.cfg

4. ftp://example/10.10.22.77.cfg

Note: The MAC address resolves to a hexadecimal number with lower-case letters. In the

previous example, the MAC address 00:13:FA:00:12:33 is replaced with

00_13_fa_00_12_33. If you specify a path that uses the #M escape, ensure that the

file name of the configuration file contains lower-case letters.

The first file found is used. If the checksum of the file is different from the last configuration

file loaded into the system, then the new file is used.

Note: Setting preferences that result in a system reboot, for example port ranges or SIP

preferences, may cause the system to reboot once the configuration file is loaded

into the system. Because the checksum for the configuration file in this case is the

same, the file is not loaded again. The actual configuration changes are applied

when the system is fully booted. This may cause previous configuration preferences

to appear in the user interface, for example a previous system name, before the

configuration takes effect.

Specifying the Hostname and Domain Name Service (DNS) Servers

You can enter the hostname of the system and the IP addresses to configure DNS servers.

You can also enter the domain names to search when resolving hostnames. Domain Name

System (DNS) translates names of network nodes into addresses; specify this preference to

use DNS to resolve the hostnames of devices to IP addresses.

11 Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide

Specifying Network Speed

If you choose an option other than Auto for the Administrator Preferences : Network :

Network Speed preference, ensure that it matches the speed and duplex configured on

your network switch.

Note: If your Ethernet switch is configured for half duplex, you may experience poor

quality video when placing calls greater than 512 Kb/s.

Specifying a VLAN Tag

If you have static virtual local area networks (VLANs) configured in your environment, you

can configure your Avaya system to apply a VLAN tag to outgoing packets and only accept

incoming tagged packets that have the same VLAN identifier. To enable this feature,

navigate to Administrator Preferences : Network : General : VLAN Tag and specify the

VLAN identifier of the VLAN to which the system is assigned. The value is a number in the

range 1 through 4094.

Note: If you set or modify the VLAN Tag preference, the system reboots when you

navigate to another screen.

Specifying an NTP Server

The system date and time appear in the user interface and are automatically set if one of the

following conditions exists:

•The Administrator Preferences : Network : General : DHCP preference is set to

Enabled, and the DHCP server can pass an NTP server address to your system.

- or -

• The hostname or IP address of an NTP server is specified in Administrator

Preferences : Network : General : NTP Server Hostname.

Note: An NTP server address that a DHCP server passes to your system overrides an

NTP server hostname or address specified in the NTP Server Hostname

preference.

The System Information page displays the IP address of the NTP server that the system

uses.

Note: The time zone is not set automatically. If you did not specify the time zone for your

system during the initial configuration, the time that appears in the user interface

may not be correct. To specify the time zone manually, refer to "Manually Setting

System Date and Time" on page 16.

Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide 12

Restricting Reserved Ports

By default, Avaya systems communicate through TCP and UDP ports in the range 60000 -

64999 for video, voice, presentations, and camera control. Avaya systems use only a small

number of these ports during a call. The exact number depends on the number of

participants in the call, the protocol used, and the number of ports required for the type

(video or voice) of call.

To minimize the number of UDP and TCP ports that are available for communication, you

can restrict the range by entering values in Administrator Preferences : Network :

Reserved Ports. Avaya recommends that the range you choose, if other than a subset of

the default range, begins with a port number greater than 10000.

Note: Changing the TCP range causes an automatic reboot of the system.

Configuring Quality of Service

You can specify network Quality of Service (QoS) settings in the Administrator

Preferences : Network : Network QoS preferences. Set these preferences according to

the settings used in your network.

Note: Network QoS preferences are supported with IPv4 addressing only.

You can specify DiffServ (differentiated services) or IntServ (integrated services) values for

audio, video, and data packets. You can also set the IntServ Type of Service (ToS)

preference. By default, Network QoS and IntServ ToS are set to None.

SIP two-way call required ports:

Call Type Number of Required UDP Ports

Video

a. Each additional video participant requires 6 UDP ports.

6 UDP ports

Voice

b. Each additional voice participant requires 2 UDP ports.

2 UDP ports

13 Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide

Configuring Communications Preferences

You can specify options that control which protocols the system uses during calls by

configuring preferences in Administrator Preferences : Communications.

Disabling Multiway Calling

You can disable multiway calling on Avaya systems by choosing Disabled for the Multiway

Calls preference in Administrator Preferences : Communications : General. The default,

Enabled, allows users to place multiway calls up to the maximum number supported by the

system. You can configure this preference only when the system is not in a call. Choosing

Disabled allows only one call, voice or video, to connect to the system.

If the system includes an embedded multipoint bridge, the One Video + One Voice option

also appears for this preference. This option allows the system to connect to both a video

and a voice call as the maximum number of connected callers.

Configuring Dialing Options

You can choose voice and video dialing options during the initial configuration, when

performing a system reset, or at any other time by accessing Administrator Preferences :

Communications : General. Refer to the Installation Guide for your Avaya system model

for more information about these preferences.

Enabling Presentations

Users can share data during a call through a secondary H.239 media channel, typically from

a laptop or personal computer that is connected to the appropriate input on the Avaya

codec. By default, the presentation function is enabled on an Avaya system. To disable

presentations access Administrator Preferences : Communications : General :

Presentations. Consider disabling the presentation function if your system experiences

interoperability issues with third party systems that do not support presentations.

Note: When presentations are disabled for all participants during a call, the user interface

offers the user the option to send video from the presentation input as the primary

video stream. Refer to the Avaya Video Communications Systems User Guide for

more information about presentations and selecting primary and presentation

inputs.

Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide 14

Manually Starting a Presentation

If the Presentations preference is set to Enabled (the default), a presentation starts

automatically during a call if a user connects a video input device other than an

Avaya Video Camera 150, Avaya Video Camera 200, or Avaya Video Camera 100 to the

codec and the video input device is not selected as the primary input. The user interface

switches the presentation input to this video input and starts the presentation. The

presentation stops automatically if the video input device is disconnected during the call.

You can choose Manual for the Auto Start Presentation preference in Administrator

Preferences : Communications : General to allow users to start a presentation manually.

Supported VGA and DVI-I Input Resolutions

Avaya systems support native 16:9 and 4:3 VGA and DVI-I inputs. The System Information

screen shows the actual VGA or DVI-I input size for VGA Input or DVI-I Input. The input

selector shows a 16:9 or 4:3 window for the input depending on the aspect ratio.

The resolutions are sent natively to the far end for the primary or secondary video streams.

These resolutions are supported only with a screen refresh rate set to 60 Hertz on the

device connected to the VGA or DVI-I input.

Following are the supported input resolutions and frame rates for video sent to the DVI-I

input from an HDMI source:

• 480p60

• 576p50

• 720p60

• 1080p30 (available only on Avaya systems that support 1080p30 output)

If audio is sent to the DVI-I input from an HDMI source, the audio is sent to the near end

speakers and to the far end when the DVI-I input is selected as the primary or presentation

video input.

For more information about configuring the DVI-I input, refer to

"Configuring HD In and DVI-I In" on page 27.

15 Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide

Configuring SIP Settings

By default, support for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is enabled on Avaya systems. To

configure SIP as the protocol to use for placing calls, configure SIP preferences in

Administrator Preferences : Communications : SIP. You can also disable support for SIP

by choosing Disabled for the SIP preference when the system is not in a call. If you choose

Disabled for the SIP preference, the system cannot place or receive calls with the SIP

protocol.

For the server, enter the username, SIP server authorization name, and password for the

device, if required.

When you select the Register button and press OK, icons appear in the status bar to

indicate the status of the registration process with the SIP server. The yellow SIP icon

appears when your Avaya system is trying to register with the SIP server. If the registration

fails, the red SIP icon appears.

To navigate to the second page of SIP preferences, press on the remote control.

You can change the SIP UDP signaling port. You can also enable TCP signaling and change

the TCP signaling port.

Note: The system reboots if you change the UDP signaling port, enable or disable TCP or

TLS signaling, or change the TCP or TLS signaling ports.

Configuring System Settings

You can change settings that identify the system to users in the user interface, set the

system date and time, check for updates to license keys, and reset the system to its factory

default settings by accessing Administrator Preferences : System.

Identifying the System

To change the system name, dialing numbers, and geographic location specified for the

system, access Administrator Preferences : System : Identification.

Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide 16

Manually Setting System Date and Time

You can set the system date and time manually as follows:

1. From the System Menu, access Administrator Preferences : System : Date and

Time.

2. Set the time zone.

3. Set the month, day, and year for the date.

4. Set the hour, minute, and second for the time.

5. Select the Set Date and Time button and press OK to save your changes.

Restoring Default Settings

Administrator preferences contain the configuration of the entire system. You may need to

reset the system to its default state to correct unknown problems you may be experiencing

or to return to a known configuration. You can reset the system from the user interface or

manually with the Reset button on the back of the codec.

Resetting a System from the User Interface

To reset the system from the user interface, follow these steps:

1. From the System Menu, access Administrator Preferences : System : System

Reset.

2. Enter the administrator password.

The system automatically reboots and the administrator password is reset to the default

value (1 2 3 4). The user password also resets to a blank password, enabling users to

access User Preferences without a password. The Initial Configuration screen appears.

You must complete the initial configuration screens to complete the reset.

Note: If you reset the system using a remote access method, you must complete the reset

from the user interface by navigating the initial configuration screens and pressing

OK on the remote control when prompted to save the configuration.

17 Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide

Resetting a System Using the Reset Button

If this reset fails or if you do not have access to the user interface, you can manually reset

the system using the Reset button on the back of the codec.

Using the Reset Button on Avaya 1030, Avaya 1050, and Avaya 1040:

If you are using an Avaya 1030, Avaya 1050, or Avaya 1040, you can use the reset button

without removing power to the system. Press and hold the reset button. The blue LED on the

front of the codec changes color or behavior approximately every five seconds until the LED

turns solid blue. The following table indicates the sequence of color and behavior changes

that the LED exhibits and the corresponding effect on the system when you release the reset

Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide 18

Managing Bandwidth

You can specify the maximum bandwidth that an outgoing or incoming call uses by setting

the Outgoing Maximum Bandwidth and Incoming Maximum Bandwidth preferences in

Administrator Preferences : Calls. The value that you choose for the Outgoing Maximum

Bandwidth becomes the maximum value that users can choose in the user interface when

placing a call by dialing a number manually or when specifying a bandwidth in a directory

entry. If a user specifies Auto for the bandwidth when placing a call, the maximum outgoing

bandwidth becomes the starting point for negotiating bandwidth when the call connects.

If you choose Auto as the value for the Outgoing Maximum Bandwidth and Incoming

Maximum Bandwidth preferences and the user chooses Auto for the bandwidth when

placing the call, the system places the call at 1152 kb/s. An exception occurs when you set

the display resolution to a 1080i or 1080p resolution in Administrator Preferences :

Appearance : Displays on Avaya systems that support these resolutions with

Avaya Video Camera 200. In this case, the system places the call at 1728 kb/s.

The Auto Bandwidth preference addresses how the system responds to packet loss during

a call. When set to Enabled, the default, the system attempts to use the best available

bandwidth after the call connects.

Selecting a Maximum Call Time

You can control the amount of time that a call stays connected by selecting an option for the

Maximum Call Time preference in Administrator Preferences : Calls.

Controlling REDIAL List Entries and Auto Answer Options

Users and administrators can control the number of entries that appear in the REDIAL list

and how the system answers calls in User Preferences and Administrator Preferences :

Calls. Refer to the Avaya Video Communications Systems User Guide for more information.

19 Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide

Enabling Telepresence

You can configure an Avaya system for use in telepresence rooms in which a conference

administrator controls calls from a control panel (such as Avaya System Manager or the Call

Manager in the web administration interface) and users interact with the system using an

attached phone.

Enabling telepresence removes the user interface from view. When the system is idle, only

the background image appears in the display. An administrator can access the user

Selecting the Active Microphone

Avaya video communications systems can connect to more than one microphone device for

audio input during calls (for example, an Avaya Video Conference Phone 1000,

Avaya Video Camera 100, and on codecs with a microphone in connector, an

Avaya Video MicPod 1000). Only one of these devices can function as the active

microphone during a call.
